Web site frustrations
I give up chasing the elusive guestbook. I really wanted to have one; I really don't want to wreck my health and alienate everyone I care about, while locked into an obessive love/hate relationship with my computer for day after 18-20 hour day. I have tried every possible means of building one in Expression Web, including copying code line by line from the official Microsoft tutorials for things like building forms in the software. And guess what? The tutorial directions were just as full of coding errors as my freelancing drag and drop.Some day, some brave techie will push beyond that horizon and publish the results online. When s/he does, I'll copy them. Until then, I'm damned if I'll pay Mr. Bill Gates a single penny for an email tech support session. I mean, let's face it: A) His techies already told me how to do it wrong in the tutorials and B) Mr. Gates already got enough of my money for the stupid software. So I've taken down the broken guestbook, and eliminated the links from the website. But I'm still a writer, still a wordsmith, still a storyteller. Without some sort of audience to my work, I'm just the crazy chick mumbling to herself in the corner. So please, if you were here, if you liked the look of the site or a book--or if you hated either one, or anything in between--please take the time to drop me an email comment. I really do enjoy feedback, whether or not I always agree with it. Until next time. I'm off to breath some fresh air for a while, after which I might get some sleep, for the first time in a week.
